Jon Meacham thinks Cheney should run in 2012. John Cole is calling it Dickmentum.
And, of course, we all know why Meacham is pitching Cheney. The Drama! Imagine candidate Cheney running against President Obama. The news coverage would be like a real world Batman versus the Penguin event. Plus, there'd be health scares, scandals and lots of old-white-near-death-wingnut-versus-young-blank-healthy-liberal contrast to play up. The racial component! The health component! Mark Halperin has already peed in his pants!
Ratings and magazine sales would be astronomical, and that's the motivation. I just wish the corporate press people would be honest about it and stop trying to fool readers into believing that it's a very serious analysis.
